Dale Hall Tower had an effect on my life long before I ever went to the University of Oklahoma. When I was in the 3rd grade my reading skills were above most of the other kids in my classes. Because of this my teachers and parents made me take speed reading courses in the summer and we were forced to read certain books and from what I remember they were terrible.

The feeling I got when I entered the building was not a good one, it was so dark compared to what my classrooms were like in elementary school. The rooms had nothing on the walls like my classes did. Dale Hall Tower just seemed so plain with no excitement to it. Looking from the outside the building not much changes, its plain brick all though I do like the top part made out of the stone. But for me, Dale Hall Tower was where my excitement for reading left me.
